Make it so that the people who die the most get a handicap, like more spawn protection time, say if they've died 3 times in a row.
digency: I gave about a weeks notice for the day, and I asked in the signup thread who would be available. Since the start, I said It was going to probably be on a saturday since this is when most people are universally available, also I stated almost 2 weeks ago that It would begin the next weekend coming up.. So I believe I gave fair warning of when it was going to begin. Hopefully people will check for updates atleast every few days or so, and read every post. Not just the last posts, because that seems what some were doing. They kept asking questions that had already been answered. Anywho, It still went quite well imo. Not too many or too little. We had around 25 signups or so, and most just simply couldn't make it on time because of unchangable obligations such as work. No matter what number we have, I would always expect atleast 25% unable to make it due to their own reasons.
As for 1000 frags, that will be voted on the next time. Though, it makes the title 'Tasty 500' a bit pointless. Tasty 1000? nah. Maybe we'll just keep it '500' or make it 'Tasty 500 X2' It would be nice to see how tired/skillful people are after 500 frags, and still have 500 left.
Hopefully this event generated some buzz, so more people will signup. But really, if we get over 30 players on at once, It will be crowded in those smaller maps. So if we do go anything over 30 ever, some or all q2dm* maps may be out of the question.
1000 frags is about 35-40 games. Personally thats a bit too much for me. 500 sounds just about right though. Also like dig said, a couple of days notice would have been nice. I soo would have won it if played.. BTW, what does the winner get? A date with plastik???
